Can I record cable locals with 501

[wkeahey]

I did a search but could not find the answer. Is there any way I can record my local station off cable(which is the only way I can get them)with my 501? I am pretty sure it isn't possible but it is worth asking anyway. I would love to get network channels from sat. but apparently that is not a possibility. Thanks

The 50x lacks an encoder circuit, so it cannot record off-air channels, including local cable channels. Sorry.

I was afraid of that. thanks for the reply!
